A remedy which promptly and COM
pletely relieves ailments Of such common
occurrence as Indigestion, constipation,
biliousness and disorders of a malarial
type, is assuredly the beau ideal of a fam
lily medicine. Such is Hostetter's Stom
anh Bitters, which is not only capable Of
graduating these complaints, but also
counteracting a tendency to kidney
troubles, rheumatism and premature de-
cadence of stamina. Taking it all
round, as the phrase is, there is prob
ably not in existence so useful, effective
and agreeable a household panacea as the
Bitters. Nor is it less highly esteemed
by the medical profession than by the
families Of America. Numberless testi
monials from professional sources of ire
fragable authenticity evince its merit. The
demand for it abroad, no less than in the
land of its discovery, Is certainly ~increas-
ing, tim and experience of its beneficial
effects confirming the high opinion origi-
nally formed of it.

The activity of the somewhat distant
holiday season is already limited at by the
extremely pretty displays already begin,
ming to appear in the city stores. ''What
beautifully arranged show Windows said
a gentleman yesterday to a LEADER re-
porter as they stood admiring some newly
arranged displays at Rhodes & Troxell's.
There are very few towns in the country
which could surpass hat display not alone
for the intrinsic value of the goods but
for the extremely artistic manner in
which everything is arranged. In
fact, this is a spot to which one always re-
turns with pleasure"
The gentleman was certainly correct in his
statements for the artistic effect was very
pretty, not only in the displays made in
the show windows, but in the store itself.
Many very pretty novelties have already
begun to put in their appearance and one
cannot help feeling surprised at the ingen,
uity so frequently displayed in their man,
u%facture.

GRACIOUSLY GREETED.
Maggie Mitchell Seen in a Role New to
Cheyenne.

Peerless little Maggie Mitchell seems
never to grow old. The ruthless finger of
Time which relentlessly plants wrinkles
and streaks raven locks with silyery
threads elsewhere, touches her lightly and
lovingly, leaving her charms as a woman
and an actress perennial in their bright
ness. Even now, after the lapse of many
years, Maggie Mitchell is neither a ven
cradle ruin nor the pretentious relic of a
well earned reputation. A new genera
ton of playgoers is still charmed by her
freshness and vivacity, still admire the
intensity and concentration of acting, her
and even applaud the sometimes grotesque
little mannerisms that would scarcely be
condoned in anyone else.
Intrinsically Maggie, The Midget, is not
a very good play. 1t abounds in anachron-
isms and winds up in the good, old con
ventional manner: And forever after
ward they all lived happily together" In

and undisguised freedom from probability

Of the descriptive writing, such, for in
stance, as that Of the runaway horse, the
language is vigorous and well chosen. The
superbly dramatic way in which it is rem

touches given it by the schooled artist and
the intensity of the rendition add to it a
vividness that is a little short of realistic.
Miss Mitchell's singing is execrable, but
her dancing charming.
1t was a well balanced company that
appeared before the large audience at the
opera house last evening. They did much
to keep the interest well sustained
throughout. Next to Miss Mitchell Miss
Clifton won the honors of the evening,
even though her Irish brogue was lame
enough TO require a crutch to support it.

Fort RUSSELL, Oct. 2l.-So much has
been said and written on this subject that
it is just possible that | may say some
thing new. l can only give my opinion,
based upon actual facts and personal OBJ
serYation.
What | think is the greatest cause is
the numerous and varied services a SOL
der is called Upon to perform, those of a
laborer and soldier combined. One day
he may be seen shoveling coal or dirt,
digging cellars or building a heu coop,
and the next walking his post with his
rifle on his shoulder. The laborer has all
the advantage over us. When he has
finished his days work he is done; he has
no roll calls to answer or post to walk, and
can go where and do what he pleases.
We have to answer two calls and proba.
bly, clean up for guard mounting the next
morning. We are compelled to be out in
all kinds of weather, at all hours of the
day and night, with no protection what
ever except that afforded by our over.
coats.
Then there is the garrison court mar.
tial, and oh what an institution that is.
1t is composed OF four commissioned off
GERS, three members and a Judge advocate.
For the slightest o%ffense, if his company
commander or any other officer wishes it,
a soldier is brought before this awful tri-
bunal and justice (O dispensed with a
lavish hand, generally in the shape of a
blind that makes ones two months

ton, though there are others too numer-
Gus to mention. FERITAs.

that of the pipe to the city from the lakes
2,5l4,OO0 gallons daily. Assuming that
the population OF Cheyenne is 5000, and
allowing 100 gallons per day TO each per
